Chapter 17 Alone to the love of Guihua language

Xie Ronghua and I walked in Shanglin Garden, choosing a secluded place with a winding path and moss, and the sycamore trees beside the road, like purple mist blooming plants, softly built with falling incense.Open the willow curtain, walk to a pavilion, and see the sparse willows, the shadows of withered lotus, the short pines and ancient cypresses, all of which are autumn scenery. We sat in the pavilion, looking at the cool autumn light, the leisurely white clouds, and felt a lot more lazy in our hearts. Xie Ronghua looked at the autumn scene, and sighed: "People are in the palace, but they are as ethereal as a message. In the spring and autumn, the sky will be full of clouds."

She seems a little sentimental, but I remember Qiu Xi said that the emperor still dotes on her very much, and visits her Lingque palace for a few days every month.Presumably, seeing this desolate autumn scenery made me feel sad.I comforted me: "Your younger sister is the leader of Shaohua, and she is deeply favored by the emperor, so don't be so sentimental." She smiled slightly: "It's just sad for a moment, sister don't take it to heart." In fact, we just met each other for the first time. In this deep palace, no one dares to confide in anyone easily. She doesn't want to tell her heart, and it's inconvenient for me to ask more.

"Sister, I actually like autumn. My name is Xie Ronghua, and I was born in this cold season." She looked at the sparse tung flowers on the stone path and said. But I looked at the rose in the garden and said: "Sister, you see that this rose blooms in all seasons, pink and tender, shy and leaning against the wind, my sister's so pure and soft beauty makes people feel like spring breeze, full of fragrance. " She really smiled shyly, and said: "Sister, I don't know how outstanding you are today, and you have taken away the beauty of the harem." I was shocked in my heart, I had already lightened my makeup, but unexpectedly I still gave people such a feeling.Thinking of what Concubine Yun deliberately asked me to say today, and using it to demonstrate in front of Concubine Wu, I can't help but feel a little palpitating.I said lightly: "I am mediocre, and I don't want to attract attention."

"But my sister's elegant and vulgar temperament has already attracted attention, and you can't hide it." She blurted out, which can be seen from the bottom of her heart. I understand the meaning of Shutong's words, she is reminding me that I have attracted the attention of Concubine Yun and Concubine Wu, especially Concubine Yun, she is so stubborn and fierce.When I left, I seemed to leave a word: You can choose whether you are an enemy or a friend.Concubine Yun is revealed today, and there are many people who are hiding, it is impossible to guard against.I don't need to participate in the draft, but I am ranked first among the rookies. If I am really favored by the Holy One in the future, wouldn't I have to be defensive everywhere.

I didn't say anything more, just smiled at her and said, "Sister, we should go back to the bedroom, otherwise the people in the palace should be in a hurry." So we went back hand in hand, we said goodbye together, she went to her Lingque Palace, and I went back to my Yueyang Palace. Before arriving at Yueyang Palace, Xiao Xingzi and Xiao Yuanzi were already waiting at the door. Seeing me come back, they hurriedly greeted me, and at the same time announced inside: "Master Mei is back." Qiu Xi and Hong Jian came out with Ju Xin and the others, I smiled and said, "What's going on?"

Qiu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Mei is finally back." I knew they were worried about me, so Hong Jian held my hand and said, "I haven't seen Miss come back after so long, I ordered Xiao Xingzi and the others to pick me up, saying that I left Fengxiang Palace long ago, and ordered someone to pick me up." I went to inquire, and said that there was a conflict with Concubine Yun outside the Fengxiang Hall, and everyone was worried." Hong Jian has always been used to calling me Miss, and she still calls me Miss in Yueyang Palace, and she also follows in front of outsiders. Qiuxi and the others called me Master Mei.

Surrounded by them, I came to Meiyun Hall. Qiuxi was a smart person, so he dispersed everyone around me and let me sit quietly for a while.After drinking a cup of American ginseng tea, he went back to the Nuan Pavilion to rest. Lying on the chair, Qiu Xi carefully peeled the oranges for me, and said softly: "Just now the queen has sent an order, and the new concubine will be ready to go to bed tomorrow night." I nodded after hearing this, but my heart was in a mess. She handed me a piece of orange, and seemed to have something to say, but she didn't say it after all.In fact, what she wants to ask, I know, she is worried that there will be a conflict between me and Concubine Yun outside Fengxiang Hall today.

I ate the oranges and said lightly: "I'm fine, today I just got acquainted with Concubine Yun in a lukewarm way, the servants below must have spread the word too seriously." Hong Jian, who was standing aside, glanced at me immediately, and I just ate the oranges as if nothing had happened. The consecutive nights of dreams made me very tired, and I got up early today and went to see many concubines at the Queen's place, so I was really tired.Lie on the chair and close your eyes to meditate, but you can't be quiet in your heart.I still don't understand why the emperor didn't let me participate in the draft, so he directly called me into the palace and gave me the title of Jieyu.Ever since the geisha at Miyuedu became the daughter of the Yue Mansion that day, I have a faint feeling that this matter is extraordinary. For a long time, I didn't even know whose chess piece I was, so how could I not worry about it.In addition, my special status has already attracted the attention of the concubines in the harem. If the emperor summons me to attend the bedchamber tomorrow, I'm afraid it will cause more criticism.It's really like what Xie Ronghua said, if you try your best to cover it up, you can't do it.

She is a sensible person, and I am not confused. In this way, the sunset was ushered in worry, the twilight was already light outside the window, and the jackdaws were crying coldly, as if they were mourning autumn.I ate very little for dinner, and at first I had no appetite, and moreover, I had been haunted by nightmares recently, and there was a kind of nameless panic in my heart when the dusk came.I used to like to play the piano and read books under the bright moon, but now, I am so afraid of the dark. Walking alone in the courtyard, the quiet moonlight falls on the moss and ancient stones, and the fragrant osmanthus swaying in the wind, looking at the deep buildings and palaces.It seems to be separated from the small fenced courtyard in childhood, thinking of the white clouds covering the family house, the old garden of the hometown, but now, people are in the palace, but their hearts are like floating weeds, lost and melancholy.At this moment, I deeply realized why Xie Ronghua sighed during the day. I must have seen these overlapping buildings and palaces, but I was trapped in it and could not escape.It is said that everything is destiny, but some people say that fate can be changed, as smart as me, but I don't know how to change my current situation.

Even though the imperial palace is prosperous and prosperous, it is definitely not a place to live comfortably, there are too many fights.Especially in the harem, there have been many disputes in the harem since ancient times, so many women can only fall in love with one man in their life, pay for him, wait for him, from beauty to white hair, how many people can gather thousands of loves in one body ?Even if he wins favor for a while, it is hard to guarantee that he will not fall out of favor in the future. I need to find a way to avoid these disputes as much as possible, quietly guard the Yueyang Palace, and be my eyebrows back then.Maybe I will be lonely all my life, but it is always better than walking on the tip of a knife.If survival in the harem is a gamble, then I admit defeat.

At some point, Qiuxi stood behind me, put on a brocade cloak for me, and said carefully: "Madam, it's cold outside, let's go into the warm pavilion to rest." I glanced at her and suddenly had an idea in my heart. Walking into the Nuan Pavilion, I whispered to her: "Go tell Xiao Xingzi and order him to hire an imperial physician for me. I have been dreaming every night for the past few days, and I feel in a trance and very tired." She was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this invitation to the imperial physician will affect you." I smiled faintly: "You are afraid that if the news of my illness spreads, you will be left out in the cold, and the emperor will not be able to be lucky with me." She nodded and said: "Yes, when you first come to the palace, there are some things you must guard against." "You go ahead, just ask the imperial physician to take the pulse and prescribe a few medicines to soothe the nerves and nourish the qi. It's okay." I still spoke in a flat tone, as if I hadn't taken this matter to heart. "Yes." She agreed and withdrew. Hong Jian walked to my side and said softly: "Miss..." I nodded to her knowingly, but said nothing.Hong Jian has been with me for many years, and she can understand my thoughts at a glance.In fact, I am really sick, but I understand that my illness cannot be cured by the imperial doctor. The dream that repeats every night is too mysterious. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to divination, otherwise I have to see if the dream is true. Lucky is bad.But I have a vague feeling that the decline of the queen of prosperity must not be a good sign. While thinking, Xiao Xingzi hurriedly reported outside the door, and I called him in.Seeing his flustered expression, he hurriedly said: "Master Mei, I just heard from Xiao Xuanzi who is beside the emperor on the road that the emperor suffered from the wind and cold last night, and it is even more serious today." There was a shock in my heart, and I returned to calm in an instant.Asked: "Then you didn't invite the imperial doctor?" "Yes, I will come back when I hear the news and tell the master first." He said.I glanced at him briefly, this little guy is still a bit clever. "Well. Let's put this matter aside, and don't mention it to others." "Yes. The slave obeys." I waved my hand and he walked out the door. The emperor suffered from the wind and cold at this time, and he really didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.For me, it should be joy, at least things can be slowed down now, but the other new concubines may not think so.Everything is temporary, and the future needs to be considered in the long run. The night outside the window was getting dark, and the crooked frosty moon poured a faint halo, which also dipped the strings into a cold.A lamp is like a bean, as if the fireworks of the red candle are not as bright as before.But I am not sad, life is like this candle flame, countless are bright or dark, I also want to let myself burn to the end, in the end...
